Lisbon, Ohio, located in the northwest area of the state on the north bank of Middle Beaver Creek, was founded soon after 1800, and is the second oldest town in Ohio. It's home to a historic district and a short drive to the area's largest oldest open-air flea market in Rogers (rogersohio.com/open-air-market). The town has businesses and retail and service companies as well as a variety of restaurants where visitors or residents can eat.

Historic Diner

The Steel Trolley Diner (steeltrolleydiner.com) is a piece of American history in Lisbon. In 1954 it was one of the last diners built in the country; it was brought to town in 1979 and has been open for breakfast, lunch and dinner since that time. Breakfast is served all day and features eggs, breakfast meats, pancakes and omelets. The lunch and dinner menu highlights '50s-style cuisine, including grilled cheese, hot dogs and more than 20 types of burgers. The soda fountain offers malts, milkshakes and floats.

Pizza Pie

Lisbon residents and visitors can choose between three pizza restaurants in town. Fox's Pizza Den (foxspizza.com) has been family-owned and operated since the 1970s. The restaurant makes its own dough and sauce, and in addition to pizza it specializes in hoagie sandwiches. Italo's (italospizza.com) has been serving pizza in the area since 1966. The restaurant also serves chicken pieces and dinners, pasta and sub sandwiches. East of Chicago (eastofchicago.com) expands on the pizza menu with chicken wings, sub sandwiches, nachos, salads and desserts.

At the Lake

Guilford Lake, on the outskirts of town, offers visitors a chance to catch fish, row a boat, or simply relax.

It's a casual restaurant with a patio overlooking the lake, and the house specialty is the "whopping" fish sandwich.
